@gorses77@shannonsbrokey@GlenSmith174927@annavanpraagh Saying government should prioritise making the most out of the money it has rather than the money it can grab isn’t billionaire bootlicking. You’re ‘Just tax the rich’ notion as a solution to all our problems is naive at best.
@gorses77@shannonsbrokey@GlenSmith174927@annavanpraagh You’re saying it adversely, granted, because you’ve got a preconceived narrative that all billionaires should be hung, drawn and quartered instead of the government being held accountable for the terrible levels of corruption and waste in every sector.
@gorses77@shannonsbrokey@GlenSmith174927@annavanpraagh So you’re just proving my point then? Yeah I think the government should be chasing this level of fraud instead of constantly figuring out how to extract more tax from the population.
@gorses77@shannonsbrokey@GlenSmith174927@annavanpraagh Everything runs like shit because nobody can actually be arsed to reform, find waste and cut down on fraud because that doesn’t buy votes. Constantly having to find people to tax to fund and ever increasingly unsustainable state just kicks the can down the road.
@gorses77@shannonsbrokey@GlenSmith174927@annavanpraagh He doesn’t even understand the Tax system and instead of listening he just rambles on. The idea of cutting out loopholes for tax avoidance is right, his figures are wrong.
@MelaineJshepp@TNuto03@FPL_WadeWilson@WhatTheForkAVFC Over represented involvement in the British Empire but now want to deflect blame to solely us and play the victim. Pathetic. The act of Union was voluntary yknow.
@__Sabs@Ademac35@Dykeocletian Turns out nobody gives a shit about us destroying our industrial base to ‘lead by example’ because they just get to take the business. Who could have seen that coming.
@spanishblueye@browser_things@DanielJHannan@JohnHealey_MP We’ve spent the past 25 years being sensible (or neglecting) on defence. The actual thing we need to start being sensible on is the ballooning Welfare spending. Which never seems to stop growing.
@spanishblueye@browser_things@DanielJHannan@JohnHealey_MP Navy’s barely functional, Armoured divisions threadbare, Troop numbers lowest in years, Artillery threadbare, no funding for our collaboration in the next generation fighter jet but yeah it’s going great. Can’t even fulfil our NATO commitments.
@browser_things@DanielJHannan@JohnHealey_MP The point of Healey’s resignment is there’s no pathway for the country to feasibly reach the targets set. Also doesn’t account for the amount that was added under the MoD’s budget that obscures the actual percentage. Do your own research on how much it’s been hollowed out.
